Fear is like fire,
It will burn your body down,
-and the flames will burn higher,
Until the brave stomp them out,
Knowbody greaves -
For the fallen leaves,
We just watch them fill the ground,
If you live you learn,
Don't be deterred,
In the darkest night the lights -
They will shine brighter,
Forget what you've learnt,
Because we've all been burnt,
In the darkest night the lights they will shine brighter,
If you let it- life will,
Get the better of you,
Keep your head above your shoulders
Like your parents told you,
If you need a hand, you -
Should remember you've got to,
Keep your head above your shoulders,
Keep your head down -
Guard your heart and fight.
Like a stab in the darkness,
You've been fighting blind,
-and if you've got the heart left,
You'll ignore the warning sign,
Don't cling to the road,
Cause it's all you'll ever own,
Dragging baggage will drag you down,
In time...
If you live you learn,
Don't be deterred,
In the darkest night the lights -
They will shine brighter
Forget what you've learnt,
Because we've all been burnt,
In the darkest night the lights they will shine brighter,
If you let it- life will,
Get the better of you,
Keep your head above your shoulders
Like your parents told you,
If you need a hand, you -
Should remember you've got to,
Keep your head above your shoulders,
Keep your head down -
Guard your heart and fight.
Take my wasted time,
Read between the lines a little more,
Save my place in line,
Cause I'm unsure of what we're queing for,
If you let it- life will,
Get the better of you,
Keep your head above your shoulders
Like your parents told you,
If you need a hand, you -
Should remember you've got to,
Keep your head above your shoulders,
If you let it- life will,
Get the better of you,
Keep your head above your shoulders
Like your parents told you,
If you need a hand, you -
Should remember you've got to,
Keep your head above your shoulders,
Keep your head down -
Guard your heart and fight.
